And you misread my comments.

I am not implying (nor the linked FP article) that Twitter was insignificant in spreading the news around the world. It sure did one hell of a job and undoubtedly helped get the world’s attention to the Iranian’s ordeal. I am just downplaying the role of Twitter in facilitating the Iranians in physically organizing the protest (It contrast to the popular perception that Twitter played a critical role especially in this regard). Twitter was nearly non-existent in the streets of Tehran. That’s what the FP article is suggesting.
